College Utility Training Programs (US)
■ National Grid has partnered with various colleges
throughout our US service territory on programs
designed to prepare students for entry-level positions
in the electrical and/or gas utility industry.
■ The programs vary in nature and duration, but rely on
the knowledge and skills of our National Grid Academy
instructors to support specific courses within these
programs.
■ Some of the programs are delivered entirely at the
colleges, while others have certain courses that are
delivered by our instructors at the National Grid
Learning Centers.

HVCC – Overhead Electric Lineworker Certificate
■ The certificate program was developed in response to the demand
for overhead electric line workers throughout the Capital Region.
The electric utility industry is facing a critical shortage of qualified
workers, specifically line mechanics and technicians due to a large
number of workers retiring. To fill their workforce needs, utilities
are looking for employees that have completed technical training
at the community college level to handle the increased technical
challenges they face.
■ The certificate program consists of new and existing courses in
the Electrical Construction and Maintenance A.O.S. degree
program. These courses include AC/DC electricity, technical math,
electrical wiring and industry specific electric power.

SBU – Utility Industry “On-Line” Certificate
■ The Energy Industry Certificate program will provide individuals with the introductory
knowledge and competency required for a successful transition to employment in the
energy industry. The goal is to increase the pipeline of qualified individuals interested
in a career in the energy industry to address the growing need for new employees
resulting from aging workforce demographics. Individuals obtaining the certificate will
have enhanced employment opportunities in the industry due to their demonstrated
knowledge and aptitude in relevant topics.
■ The primary target audience is individuals with a high school diploma interested in
self-development and/or to transition to a career in the Energy Industry. The
secondary target audience would be existing energy company employees with 0-3
years of experience who have not yet completed similar training and would benefit by
the targeted developmental topics.
■ This online program will provide these individuals with the flexibility to complete the
required modules as their schedules allow. The target audience is not confined to NY
State and the program is envisioned to be marketed across the US.
■ Delivery Method - Asynchronous online course modules and electronic assessments.
